Delegate Issue Sent To Convention The McGovern Fight
The Supreme Court stayed a lower court ruling awarding 151 California delegates to Sen. George McGovern and sent the matter to the Democratic convention floor. The stay, 6-3, preserves party process over judicial review and leaves Daley forces seeking a hearing. Justice Marshall warned a delay could void the convention.

Legal Aid Proposal Studied by Morgan County Bar Group
Decatur and Morgan County bar members study a civil legal aid program while LEPA seeks 1 million dollars in federal funds for a state wide public defender system centered in North Alabama. Decatur attorney Bill Shinn says a plan may be sent to the bar this all to help people who cannot afford attorneys in civil cases and that $10,000 in Office of Economic Opportunity funds may be available for Morgan and Lawrence counties. The association earlier narrowly approved a legal aid society proposal but paused it for a stronger plan.
